You laid the lawn rolls on top of weeds, its only a matter of time before the weeds come up through the lawn rolls. When peak growth starts from apr 20th you will see the weeds coming again, you might have some chance if you sprayed the lawn with round up to kill all the old vegetation before you laid the rolls.I have successfully laid lawn rolls over a very weedy old lawn. You know those rolls of ready-growing lawn that you get from B&Q costing about €4-€5 per sq m. I levelled out some parts where there were holes - and laid the rolls on top of the whole lot last Autumn. It is now Spring and I have the best grass in the estate - not a weed in sight.
Great for a small lawn. Some of the rolls were a bit yellow and dishevelled looking when I laid them - they may have been in the shop too long - but now 7 months later they are all identical.
Gave them a dose of Miracle Grow Lawn Feed soon after laying
is there light getting to your garden ? you can do what gulliver did,will turn out fine but will cost you a bit, i think you should give the garden a bit of time first,its just coming out of winter,wait til a bit of growth comes in and some heat. as for the weeds,any b and q or woodies will have selective weed killer,not round-up!!! spray when the growth comes and see what happens.. grass is the one of few things that will grow again and again.
I have a small lawn and to be honest its a bit of an embarressment! Clumpy, full of weeds and quite yellow in places! Is there any point trying to fertilize it and put on weed killer or should I start from scratch and re-lay? I dont fancy the idea of digging up garden so if anyone knows any miracle cure for bad lawns id love to know about them.
Thanks!
